Karyotype studies in Mimosa (Mimosoideae, Leguminosae) from southern South America and ecological and taxonomic relationships

In this work we studied the chromosome number and karyotype formula of seven species of Mimosa L. (Mimosoideae, Leguminosae). The chromosome number 2n = 2x = 26 for M. detinens Benth., M. hexandra M. Micheli, M. ostenii Speg. ex Burkart and M. xanthocentra Mart. var. mansii (Benth.) Barneby are new...
